Most people experience at least one dental problem during their lives. Dental problems are never any fun, but the good news is that most of them can be easily prevented. One of the common dental problems people face with is Tartar.

A yellow or brown mineral deposit on teeth is called tartar. Improper brushing can lead to plaque formation that when ignored forms tartar, a solidified plaque. As the quantity of tartar increases and if you don’t remove it, it can cause periodontitis. This would finally lead to several teeth and gum diseases.

Your dentist is the first solution but, if you can’t wait for your next dental appointment, you can remove tartar yourself using just a few ingredients.

Ingredients Required:

All you’ll need is baking soda (It is the most popular and effective tool for removing plaque), hydrogen peroxide, salt, water, a cup, a toothbrush, a dental pick and some mouthwash.

Procedure To Remove Tartar from Teeth & Plaque Using Home Remedies:

Step 1: The first step is mixing a tablespoon of baking soda with half a teaspoon of salt. Slightly wet the toothbrush and dip into the baking soda mixture. Brush your teeth using the mixture for about five minutes before spitting it out.

Step 2: Now, it’s time to rinse. Create a rinse by mixing a cup of hydrogen peroxide with 1/2 cup of warm water & Rinse your mouth for one minute before spitting it out. Then rinse with ½ cup of cool water.

Step 3: Use a dental pick for rubbing the yellow tartar from teeth. Be careful not to scrape the gums because it may irritate and damage them.
